High impact information on ras1

 

Biological context of ras1

 

Anatomical context of ras1

  • Among low-molar-mass species, a component moving as a band at 31 kDa was conspicuous in ras1- cell walls [8].
 

Regulatory relationships of ras1

  • By Northern analysis of RNA preparations from strains carrying wild-type or mutant ras1 alleles and grown to different stages of the growth cycle, we have shown that ras1 plays an important role in inducing the Pi transcript of the mating-type loci and the mei3 gene transcript [6].
 

Other interactions of ras1

  • Several physiological similarities between strains containing null alleles of these genes supports the idea that ras1 and byr1 are functionally closely related [6].
  • Characterization of the Schizosaccharomyces pombe ral2 gene implicated in activation of the ras1 gene product [9].
  • The ste6 gene of Schizosaccharomyces pombe encodes a putative GDP-GTP exchange factor for the ras1 gene product [10].
